Shawshank (voidifremoved.net)In an effort to prolong this glorious read, I labeled all the inserts and pulled them out of the book. Then, I did what I’ve been known for (in order to prolong House of Leaves, I re-read it 4 or 5 times before I finished it); I started Ship of Theseus all over again.
They are always crying and shit. I feed them five times a day and clean up their shit and sometimes they vomit. I don’t think there’s anything I touch more than the cat food in all it’s forms.
Yesterday, I had to physically turn one cat’s ass so that it was over the litterbox and HOLD HIM THERE so he wouldn’t shit on the kitchen floor AGAIN. The other one can’t have a meal without purging half of it like he’s 1990’s Kate Moss. I feel ya.
Now let me tell you, I’ve never wrote or scribbled in a book. Well, my college text books, but not a novel. But in this one, I’ve written in it. A lot. I’ve added highlighter as well. So much so, that I can’t really lend the book to anyone. It would look like the work of a madman. Maybe that’s what I was working toward.
If anyone ever wanted to know how Shawshank spent his 105 days in ICE detainment, he read House of Leaves at least five times, and was inspired to actually do a write-up on it.
